Biscoff Pumpkin Pie

Biscoff Pumpkin Pie

If you're making pie for the first time, you should try this Biscoff pumpkin pie recipe. There's a homemade graham cracker crust made with crushed Biscoff cookies and a pumpkin cream cheese filling. Both the crust and filling are foolproof, and cleanup is simple.

Bake for 35 minutes. Let cool for at least 1 hour before serving. It may be chilled for up to 2 days.

For clean-up:

Tip: you can use the blender to clean the blender without having to scrub near the blades. Fill halfway with dish soap + warm water, and blend.

There's plenty of time to clean all the dishes as the pie bakes.

The instructions list is long because I include a lot of detail on every single step in the process. You'll need several pieces of equipment:

pie pan - If you don't have one and don't plan on baking often, I recommend getting a disposable, aluminum pie pan.

baking sheet + aluminum foil - These are optional. I just find it easier to move baking sheets than pie tins, and I want to guard against messes. Plus, you can use the aluminum foil for storing the pie afterwards.

blender - You can mix the filling by hand, but a blender makes life easier.

Nutrition Facts

I don't plan on calorie counting for Thanksgiving, and I want to focus more on the people and not on the healthfulness of the food. However, for your information, here are the nutrition facts for 1/16 of the pumpkin pie.

It's worth noting that desserts with huge amounts of butter and sugar really aren't that bad for you if you keep the serving size in check. For comparison, a Kind bar is also 200 calories, and a Quest bar is 225 calories. I struggle a lot with learning portion control is difficult for two main reasons:

Emotional eating and strong strong sugar cravings are powerful. I used to binge eat desserts when I was sad, and I still sometimes do. I try to fix this by being more mindful about eating. A small portion of a dessert should be delicious and satisfying. Treating desserts as "guilt foods" that you need willpower to avoid is harmful and makes cravings even stronger.
